I hope you like it!

Looks really nice ! Mooi hoor!

Very nice. Although I found some graphical glitches arround the little arrows. I fixed them for you.

Another fix. I reduced the filesize.

would be great if screens were in English) I can't even figure out what is it for)))

Haha, you dont need the menu's to be in English, it is the selection color for the rhodium menus that changes from green to black

Thanks Burningwheels, I added your fix!

Nice.
How about your top task bar (vista looking) : where and how did you get this !?

I love this, it looks really great!
Is it possible that you could make a complete replacement of all the green colored menus to this black one?
Thanks in advance

Yes that's possible, but I've no time to handle that.
I'm sorry I am a bit lazy, but I don't need it, so why would I spend hours of work for one person?
I hope you comprehend that.

I'm sorry I was on holiday so I couldn't answer your question. The reason for your problem, is that you probably have another menu installed. It could be the rhodium or the tachi version. I've made a skin for them too: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535351
Good luck!

Might be worth looking at a post I started back in June
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520663
Alternatively Max TF3d Application lets you change the menus quite easily and conveniently without having to worry about a hard reset. cant find the link but if you search the forum it will turn up

But that's for manila, I made this to work with the menus in windows.
Nevertheless I haven't tried that tool but it sounds good.
I use cfc gui for tf3d sknning, it works very good.
Thanks for you post.

[Morph] Smooth Black Bar [Enomther's Official ROM v1.7.1/Cyanogen 5.0.4.1]

This is a very simple METAMORPH THEME. It puts in a black status bar with Hero-style icons.
Also added:
Green highlights
Blacked out search bar (Made by Manup456)
Transparent notification shade
Green lights on power control widget
Changelog:
Added green highlights to GenieWidget
Lowered transparency on notification shade
2/5/10
Repaired GenieWidget so it no longer malfunctions on touch when only displaying news feed.
Added green highlights to the power control widget.
Changed the shade of green on widgets to match better.
This is NOT a regular theme. It is a Metamorph.
To use: download and install AndExplorer and Metamorph from the market. Both are available for free.
**PLEASE NOTE** After applying morphs, you will need to reapply your widgets. Metamorph has always been this way. They are not broken, they just need to be trashed and reapplied.
Screen Shots:

***If you are having trouble when flashing one of the updated morphs, you may need to reflash your original ROM. (wipe won't be necessary)***

thanks bro!
Man I've never used metamorph before
I got the apps from the market like you said and downloaded this right to my phone! Work like a charm bro!!
Thansk to that!
Are you going to pimp this out full theme like?

I can add more, but stayed simple since I love the way the N1 looks. I just hate the standard status bar.

id love a hero style theme
Yo bro!
Id live hero themes and no one has doe one yet!
Would be awesome!

Nice change, I'll try it out.
P.S. 3249 new email?!

Just what I've been looking for thanks.

Yeah, just tried it as well, doesn't work with CyanMOD 5.0.

LOL I have 5 email accounts funneling into that one. I never delete anything. And most of the junk, I never filter out either.

No this will NOT run with CyanogenMod. I tried it once yesterday as well and got some funky startup errors. I have all I need to port it over to CM, but that will have to wait until later this evening after work.

Very, nice, did not know that Meta morph had support for Metamorph.
Makes themeing much more rapid.
Thanks for this theme, very clean

Take your time, and know your work is highly appreciated.

OK everyone, new link added to bottom of OP for CyanogenMod Morph.

Just installed the H icon looks a bit awkward to me but other than that it looks good.
Edit: Oh the H icon looks weird because it has a border around it. In the Modaco version I don't think it had that border around the 3G icon.

Theme looks classy. I also love the look of the stock N1 but this black bar looks so much nicer. I'm on CM5.0 beta-2.

SMS Skins by me

These are also located in astronouts thread up top but i thought I'd repost them here, these are the sms skins I have personally converted to work on the HTC Mega. I do not claim to have created any of them, I just re-wrote the css's and edited the images to run on our fantastic phone.
If it doesnt work, uninstall then install SDKCerts and reinstall your chosen skin

@mirost1: Computer guy? dunno what you mean just kidding.
Yeah they look nicer on the phone than the pics make out huh?
I'm making another original skin like Omnia atm (I like the Omnia skin, looks kinda neon-ish) but my next skin is going to be completely different.

180+ views and only 3 replies?
Interesting!
Heres a new one:
Download Omnia Blue
also added to the first post. I'll add more as I make them, I'm working on an animated skin at the minute, the key is to make it animated while not slowing the system down.
I'll post it here when its done.

Thanks you !
I've take OBlue recoloured !
Good job !

Glad you like it dude.
The animated skin is coming along nicely but re-writing the css files the way I want is harder than I expected.

Can you make an iphone type based on light blue background with white and grey (or light yellow) text boxes? Sounds boring but I like a clean version.
Thanks

yeah, just boxes or speechbubbles? lighter blue than the default iphone theme?

Speech bubbles are ok.....lighter blue indeed than default iphone and white or light yellow instead of the green
Even the glossy can be removed......
Thanks....

I dont mind doing just plain text boxes if thats what you'd prefer.
I'll get working on it after ive finished my current skin, wont take 10 minutes.

don't know why
Hi, After I installed, it doesn't work well. Is there something wrong? I installed Minishhippo_Iphone skin first. Then I restart. Nothing changed. So I install sdkCerts again. and I reinstall Minishhippo_Iphone skin. Still not working. Please give me a guide line. Thanks.

[FIX] - Fix for the overlapping dialpad icon in Phone canvas in WM6.5.x

Hi,
I did not find any similar post on this forum so I'm posting it here...
Here are working fixes for the pink square in Phone Canvas and overlapping dialpad icon that some of you may encounter with WM 6.5.x.
All credits go to Mr Pham Quang (overlap) and De'Key (pink square). Many thanks to them.
1°/ Fix for the overlapping dialpad icon:
Firstly, just download the PQDHD2 cab from Mr. Pham Quang.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2°/ Fix for the pink square during phone calls:
Once you have installed the PQDHD2 fix you will notice a small pink square during phone calls.
Just install the De'Key PinkSpotFix cab below, and that's it. All graphic glitches will be fixed.
Please note that this second fix will (probably) only work with the regular HTC dialer (i.e. the white one), and not with custom dialers.

Fantastic, now It's time for 6.5.3 rom update - no more buggy dialers!
cheers

it works! ...gonna include it in my dial pad skin

Must say looking very very nice!

yap comfirmed working, that bug was annoying thx for sharing

Thanks for your feedback.
Glad it works

thank you works great

Thanks it's coooooooooool

Thanks, but doesn't work for the lastest xtreme rom on my HD2
Edit: NVM, its just the xtreme theme

Totaly great...
Thanks...work perfect with Anja's OneStepFurth ROM(Ger)
Big Thanks...

Hi is there anyway to make this fix work for other dialers? Such as the Rhodium Dialer.

Thanxs very much. Working great. But can you tell me why the installed data package is so big (1 MB + 4 MB) ? Seems like just the icons has changed... And a complete dialer usually takes up to 14 MB so this cant be the case as well. Any ideas whats inside the cab...?
Thanks
EDIT: OK checked it myself. Seems like the files include the whole telephone-dlls with images for the phonecanvas and so on. Never mind

@elburna,
Indeed the package is big. I think we shall consider this fix as a temporary one. I'm confident someone will make it in one cab only (instead of two) and also make it lighter.
@BzeBwoi,
the 'overlapping' fix will probably work with any dialer, including the Rhodium Dialer. On the downside you will probably have a pink spot during your calls.
Indeed, when you install the first Fix, the dll file phcanImages.dll must be modified consequently.

thanks for this. been looking for ages for something to tidy up the dialer
good job!

I tested with Rhodium dialer and it is not working.
Primary, it messes the bottom line of the dialer (the one with the 'Talk' button)

That's bad. As I underlined in my 1st post, the fix will work only with the regular HTC dialer, and not with custom dialers.

I looked inside dlls, but could not find what menus have been changed, as there are a lot
Do you know what is the correct menu, so I can give a try to change them?
(or if you have the original dlls, I could try to search to find it by myself)

Jolas,
Unfortunately I don't have the original dll. Hope someone can help.
Nonetheless, the first fix should work with a vast majority of dialers. I don't know why it does not work specifically with the Rhodium one.

Alll the current diallers were fixed a couple of weeks ago. They were posted by alexx in da_gs mobile releases thread in dev and hacking forum
No work around or cabs needed, just two files to copy to windows directory.

Thx!
Works great on Artemis 6.5 ROM!

[Tweak] [05/04/2010] - Lock Screen Middle Fix

So since i got this i always felt that the slider at the top was annoying, then everyone moved it to the bottom, now personally is still find it annoying as its well at the bottom.
Therefore I moved it to the middle...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now even though i had been planning for months i did just knock this up, there may well be bugs, SHOULD NOT BE, but that is life.
Installation
1. Download it here (text) or here (no text)
2. Install it
3. Soft Reset
4. Enjoy
Remove
1. Uninstall "chris10230 Lockscreen Middle"
2. Download and install this
3. Soft Reset
4. Enjoy your stock looking lock screen
I do recommend removing any other lockscreen mods before installing this as they may have an undesired effect.
Should do no harm if it does then well you should know the risks by now!
Let me know what you think and anything else to make it better!
Made it on pocketnow.com! => http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/change-windows-mobile-65-lock-slider-position
Also anyone that has a problem with it can you please post the ROM that you are using as i have a feeling that some 6.5.x roms may not be compatible. The only thought that i have.

wooow good job
Thanks.

Agreed.
This is rather nice.
I appreciate this simplicity kind sir.
Seriously, such a "simple" registry tweak is constantly overlooked.
I enjoy the little things... and this is definitely one of 'em.
BRILLLLLLIANT!

1 thing how make top bar trasparent
thanxxx

Thanks man!
I had installed the bottom lockscreen cab and when i uninstalled it, the stock lockscreen did not appear! I searched a fix to avoid the hard reset and i found it in your thread!
Thank you chris10230!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to be the first with a problem. Installed ok. First time lock screen was, bottom of screen as in your picture above, but unlock icon at top. Did a soft reset, now unlock icon in middle but bottom of screen as before install, as screen shot. I have uninstalled reinstalled but no change.

Works Flawlessly on Miri HD2 21898 V10 ROM over at HTC Pedia!!! THANKS THIS IS EXCELLENT

I'm a bit lost on this one, maybe go ask in your rom thread for the LS_lockscene...cpr that came with the rom. Something may have gone wrong, then try it again on another rom later.

Thanks, nice work much appreciated

I have the exact same problem as steve, running kumars v1.5 on Tmo US hd2.

Looks amazing! Will try! Thanks a lot!!!

When i get some time ill look into this, may be a case of having to flash but would speed it up if you can give me the LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr from you rom it will be Windows\lockscreen
Cheers, would be nice to fix the bug

Calendar
Does the calendar suppose to show at the bottom of lockscreen? Anyone having the same problema.
Slider in the middle so much dam better. My thumb was cramping up when i had the slider at bottom.
NICE work.

Updated with no text lock screens!

QUOTE "When i get some time ill look into this, may be a case of having to flash but would speed it up if you can give me the LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr from you rom it will be Windows\lockscre"
Attached is the zipped file as requested.
Cant wait to get it sorted. BTW the missed call symbol does not come up, all i get is a 1 on the lock icon.

Cheers, but any chance of the one that was originally in your rom, also i dont quite get why it messed up as i did not touch any of the appointment parts.
otherwise i cannot see where it has gone wrong tbh

Calendar
Does anyone know how i can get the calendar icon from showing up on the lock screen? its show up at the bottom underneath the clock and date. The slider doesnt have enough room for drop down notifications.

i in stalled it and it works fine, my question is the second pic u have it also has a slide for missed calls and is that a facebook slide? how do i get those to slides to show up on my phone.
